Guest guest Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 hi angie, i do have the pricked feeling all the time, i dont have afo yet, so i would have to say it is natural progression. tina cmt1a michigan From: tatts4mom2000@... Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2009 01:49:25 +0000 Subject: Prickly legs? Hi! Every one!I got my first pair of AFOs and custom orthotics about a month ago.I finally have gotten use to them,but I am experiencing a new symptom now.My legs feel like I'm being pricked,sometimes even a crawling sensation.At night,they jump from this feeling like I'm being popped with a rubber band.Does anyone else experience this,is it from the braces,or is this just natural progression? Also,if I may,ask another question. I presently am working in retail,mostly stocking,which I am having to be really careful.I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any programs set up for people with dissablilities,for helping with more education to get into more suitable carrers.And finding out what those may be.I am trying to figure that out.I know alot of us work with computers.I am just having a hard time figuring out just what I can and will be able to do in the near and far future.My CMT affects my hands and my lower half.If ya'll have any suggestions or ideas,I would live to hear them.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Here in San Diego we have Argentine ants that forage indoors during the warm summer months. I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're describing, but I'm finding it harder to tell if I'm being bitten by ants, or just feeling random nerve tingles. Most of the time it's random nerve tingles.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Angie, Are your legs sweating? do you wear socks (knee highs) with your AFOs? Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 LOL, , I have to laugh at myself. Read your email and my first thought was " prickly legs? yeah my kids are always telling me I need to shave. " Haha! It also reminded me of a time a few months ago when I was refusing to react to what felt like ants on my hands because I just knew I'd look down and there'd be nothing there, just my nerves running funny little races. Finally, the crawly feeling overpowered my intellect and I looked -- there was an ant on my hand. Just goes to show, sometimes even when you're paranoid it doesn't mean they're not out to get ya!

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Geri, No,they don't sweat,unless I'm working and walking around all day. I don't wear socks with them. I have Walk Ons,so they arent inclusive enough to need a barrier. Just where the strap is,and that doesnt bother me.I spoke to my mom about it, she also has CMT.She said that feeling was the neerve endings dying.Is that true?

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Oh my Geri you wrote about leg sweating! I have started having a strange thing happen - sweaty knees. I have never had this before! I am so excited to see someone post about sweaty legs! LOL! Donna from London Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Donna, When I wear my AFOs my socks get dripping wet. I don't know if it's my socks or what my AFOs are made of. I then have red legs and small blisters. I also get that from Latex. Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
